Much of the stuff we all take for granted now was pretty damn difficult without any idea of what was being thrown in my face. I'll never forget the sense of triumph after I killed the game's shadow and red dragons by analyzing the beasts' distinct attack strategies, and tried successive counters of my own (most of which didn't work). |

Thats awfully cute, youre making numerous assumptions about me. I always find humor in other peoples baseless assumptions =)
But seriously, how do you know I read all the hints and such? If youve read my other posts you would know that
1) I am TOTALLY opposed to reading strategies, hints, walkthroughs, etc, until you've accomplished it yourself.
2) I didnt discover this site or in fact any BG site until long after I had (and completed) the game.
Kangaxx has always been a pushover once you get +4 weapons (like sling of everad, gesen bow, holy avenger, etc), including the first time I played him (well 3rd, I had to reload twice admittly).
Would you like to know my "strategy" for beating Kangaxx?
Summon animals, right beside him. Then have Korgan. Have someone with a sling and someone with Gesen bow. Another fighter with a 2 handed weapon (so they can hit him from the ground floor on the side).
He comes in. Chop chop chop. Cast detect invisibilty/breach as needed.
Oh no Demi-Lich form! Berzerker Korgan and chop chop chop
Yep, did it the first time I beat him, have ever since. Ironically, I tried to use traps. But they were in the wrong spot, he spawned in a different area then the other 2 liches! Plus, I quicked saved after I set the traps, so I couldnt reset them =(
2 spells, and you dont even need breach, his combat protections seem to wear out super quick for some reason. Oh, ring of the ram is nice for the demi-lich form.
Yeah good things Gamebanshee was here to tell me that!
This brings me back to my original point. He isnt tough! I dont do anything! I hack and slash! I use even less prep work then I do for many other "lesser" battles. Kangaxx is a two trick dog. Protection spells and imprisonment. Beyond that he is a joke.
Twisted Rune is much tougher the first time through, though I do credit this site with telling me about it, I never would have figured out you needed a rogue stone for it. (tough until you figure out the chick who gates the demon doesnt cast protection from evil, so all you do is run past shanglar, kill the beholder and vampire when they spawn, then run to the bottom right corner and let the chick and demon fight it out, then kill her, then take shangalor who by this time has probably lost most of his protection spells anyways and used up his time stop for no gain)
